Figure 6. BAPTA induces an AMPK-dependent autophagy in H2O2-treated hMESCs. Cells were treated as indicated in the legend to Figure 3 and were subsequently analyzed by western blotting with the indicated antibodies. (a) Western blot analysis of pAMPK, pTSC2, p70S6K and p4E-BP1 at the various time points after H2O2 addition. (b) Alterations in ULK1 phosphorylation at Ser757 and Ser555 as well as LC3 lipidization induced by BAPTA pretreatment in H2O2-stimulated cells. Representative results of the three experiments are shown in the Figure. GAPDH was used as loading control.
